Didn't know ethanol is supposed to be bad for your vehicle. Living in the Midwest, we promote this fuel! I recently have been consciously using more ethanol gas and find it has significantly increased mileage reported by my vehicle. Too, I'm going to suggest you try a different gas station. With my previous vehicle that service engine light came on when I gassed up at a certain station. I found I needed to nix purchasing there and stick with one "brand" gas.

For those of you on the water, be aware that ethanol gas used in boats and other water vehicles spells trouble with a capital T. We were told to avoid ethanol gas when we bought our boat and, if we had no choice but to buy ethanol gas, to be sure to add a product called STA-Bil to avoid problems. Even here, where water is everywhere, ethanol free gas is hard to find.

It's not only bad for cars, but I am having to get all my lawn care equipment gone through year. The tech said its the new grade of ethanol, It gums up the works. But then we all know the Government knows best. After all this is making more jobs for mechanics.

Try agriculture lobby, the people who grow corn and found a whole new market for it if they could get their members of Congress to mandate using corn for gasoline instead of for food. Isn't the corn belt in the midwest? What would happen to the farm economy if corn farmers lost the gasoline market? Don't misunderstand--I'm not for using corn for gasoline and never have been--but government would not have mandated that use if it had not been for American farmers (maybe big corporate farmers) who profit from it. froggyintexas

When wintering in Fl our boat motor had a problem -- really was gummed up so it was proven we had to use the
non-ethanol gas which cost an extra 40 cents a gal but at least if we drive 7 miles north in busy area there is a station. Hubby not happy with gas companies. Going to mention to dh about our other equipment as so far no concerns
